(Motorsport-Total.com) – Mick Schumacher will take the wheel of Alfa Romeo alongside Kimi Räikkönen in the first practice session on Friday at the Nürburgring (F1 2020 live on the ticker!). The Finn is happy about it and recognizes many parallels with his father Michael Schumacher, whom he fought for the world title against in his career.

Kimi Räikkönen is happy for Mick Schumacher Focus
“He’s a very nice guy and, in many ways, a copy of his father,” says Raikkonen. At the beginning of his long career he had the opportunity to play against Schumacher. In his McLaren days he finally fought the then Ferrari driver for the world championship titles.
In 2003, Schumacher and Raikkonen were only two points apart. 17 years later, his son will make his Formula 1 debut alongside the “Iceman” in the Eifel as a temporary partner. “It’s great to see him here. It’s good that he’s in the car tomorrow,” Raikkonen said happily.

Although that is a disadvantage for Antonio Giovinazzi, “it is only the first training session”. The nearly 41-year-old expects solid conditions. “If he’s as miserable as he is today, it won’t be much fun. But it’s still great that he’s making his debut with us.” Like Raikkonen himself, who entered Formula 1 with Sauber in 2001.
